Hey there!
Do you ever feel like you can´t express yourself or turn the darkness that crowds over you like a rainy day, into the sun shining for hours?
I do! Every day, unfortunately for me, there are only little things that help me to control, contain, and keep my spirit up. Writing and expressing my personality in anything helps keep my moods at bay. But sometimes, as all of us depend on it, it comes creeping back in. Making it harder to work yourself back up your own ladder of happiness and success. As you might have gathered, I am one of the millions that live and suffer from severe depression and anxiety.
The thing is, I am not very confident or good about speaking aloud about my struggles. But I love writing, so I thought ´why not write down my feelings, words, hopes, and desires, as someone living with Depression and Anxiety? So this is me, a young expressive female, living currently abroad, trying to contain my mind, trying to shine away from the darkness and let in as much light as I possibly can.
I understand that it will be hard, as I have struggled for far too long and tried whatever and whenever I could to feel better. But even though I have a poker face, and I am great at hiding my true feelings and emotions, inside, I am dying.
Without getting into the darkness too much, I will finish this post by saying, I truly hope this helps me bring out more of me, and less of my dark mind. I hope it doesn´t swallow me whole, and keeps at bay behind layers of my bright lighted mind, that is just waiting to show what it can do.
On this blog, I will post about my day in the life of a person trying to live with Depression and Anxiety. I will speak up about how hard it is, what I do to survive, and what I would recommend to others living with any health conditions that have worked for me.
